Butter Swim Biscuits

Let’s Bake!

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

1. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
2. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk. Gently stir until just combined. Don’t overmix!
4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for 30 seconds, then pat to 1/2 inch thickness.
5. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, leaving space between each on the baking sheet.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and risen.
7. Let cool slightly before serving.

Fun Variations:

• Cheesy Biscuits: Add shredded cheddar cheese to the dough.
• Herb Biscuits: Mix in rosemary, thyme, or parsley.
• Sweet Biscuits: Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before baking. Serve with whipped cream or jam.
